bevans@coutsfamily.comSubject: Question You webpage discusses a
Couts who lived near Brocks Gap in VA and later moved to Davidson County NC. In
your studies did you run across any Bowmans connected with the Couts, Trumbos,
Humbles or Beggs. My ancestor is a Cornelius Bowman born about 1740. His father
was a Peter Bowman who was married to a daughter of Capt. Peter Scholl who lived
near New Market VA on Smiths Creek. Peter lived near where the Lincolns and
Bryans lived on Linville Creek north of Harrisonburg VA when he died about
1763. Peter's widow married a Tunis Van PeltPeter had a brother George who
lived near Brocks Gap. In 1749 he signed a transfer of a slave and some
livestock to his mother Ann. Witnesses on the transfer were Uriah Humble and
Thomas Beggs. Peter's son, Cornelius, my ancestor married a Susannah Painter or
Pointer in 1764 at the Cooks Creek/ Peaked Mountain Presbyterian Church. By the
early 1770's Cornelius moved to NC near Abbotts Creek. He later moved to Fort
Defiance NC. In 1782 he was living in WataugaTN. By 1792 he moved to KY. From:

bevans@coutsfamily.comSubject: My work on Bowmans have now got CD's
of my revised work on the Ancestors and Descendants of Cornelius Bowman who was
born about 1740. The files can be viewed using an Adobe Reader. The purchaser
is given the right to print one paper copy for non-commercial use. The work
includes over 400 pages of text, plus numerous photos, and copies of old
documents. The work provides evidence for the proposition that about 1763
Cornelius lived near Harrisonburg VA and that he was a descendant of Joris
Jacobsen Bouwman who was living in the New Netherlands by about 1651. I have
not established just when Joris and came to America. It is possible that Joris
was not an immigrant but that instead that his father was the immigrant who was
among the earliest settlers in the New Netherlands and on Long Island.
The work discusses the children of Joris Jacobsen and the people connected with
his family. It discusses the migration of Joris Jacobsen's descendants from
Long Island to Staten Island to New
Brunswick NJ to ReadingtonNJ. The work provides evidence for the
proposition that Cornelius (b abt 1740) was the son of Cornelius Jorisee Bouwman,
the son of Joris Jacobsen Bouwman, and Anntje Staats. It is believed that
Cornelius Bowman (b abt 1740) married Susannah Pointer (Poynter?) or Painter
about 1764 at the Cooks Creek Presbyterian Church near Harrisonburg VA. The book
discusses a number of other Bowman families who lived in the Shenadoah Valley
and other places in VA in the 1700's and it follows Cornelius from Abbotts Creek
in NC to near Lenoir NC in the 1770's to Watauga(now TN) about 1782, then to KY
by about 1795. It discusses his children and their children. It then takes off
on my branch of the family which comes from Cornelius's son Rev. Thomas Bowman.
Rev. Thomas's Bowman's son Absalom, my gg grandfather, moved from KY to AR or MO
about the time of the Civil War. My great grandfather James Levi (or Lee)
married in Denton County TX and then later moved to near StillwaterOK. The book mentions other Bowman's,
some related and some not related, who lived in AR, TX and OK about the same
time as my ancestors were in those areas. Some other families include: Boone/Van
Meter/ Scholl/ Linkhorn (Lincoln)/Van Pelt/ Denton/ Staats/ Bodine/Sevier/Bird/McDowell/Ruddell/Hite/Stover/Potter/Painter/Pointer/

From:

I said that Martin Humble and Richard Winscot witnessed a 1749 transfer of some
property of a George Bowman to his mother Ann. That was wrong the witnesses on

Montgomery County.

Hi, Thank you so much for
the information. Where do you live? You said you were in high school in the
sixties so I assume you must be about my age. I am 55. You said you and your
husband were going to Mississippi for your vacation. My husband and I went to
Tennessee one vacation to the Battle of Shiloh. You are right people say why
don't you go to Hawaii or Mexico or something like that for vacations. I want to
know all about my background I want to walk the grounds they walked. When you
see the grounds it gives you chills. I have always been told by my Father-in-law
that the Winns owned some sort of property in Mississippi, and were run off and
went to Arkansas because they treated their slaves as their own family. When
the Civil War broke out they had to leave. But he also told me that is when they
changed the name from Wynne to Winn. From the looks of your paperwork that
would not appear to be the case.
Any way pictures. I wish you good luck with pictures. My Mother-in-law pitched
all of hers because she said no one would be interested in them. Suzette

Subject: Re: Winn Family Hi Cuz!!!
I'm really happy to hear from you! Back in the sixties when I was in HS, we
would go to So. Cal each summer to the Winn Family Reunion. It was in a
beautiful park. That is about how much I got from it. I wish someone would have
told me how important it really was. I do remember my dad talking about his
cousins. He loved them dearly, because when he and his brother were orphaned
early, they lived with the cousins. He was born in Crawford Co. near Van Buren
in 1910. "Uncle Gus" was one of his favorite people. I've been searching for
Winn pictures to scan and put on the page, especially of Hattie (ours is so
faded. I was thinking of doctoring one of mine since the resemblance is so
uncanny!) Let me know if I can give you any other info. My hubby and I are going
to Miss. this summer for Civil War and Genealogy...boy that's sounds boring to
others I know, but it's fun! Barb My name is Suzette Frala Winn. My husband's
name is Jimmie Ray Winn. My husband was born Sept.22,1943 in Peoria, Ill. His
Dad was John Martin Winn Born oct.03,1912 in Van Buren,
Ark. His Dad was William Augustus Winn
born June 13,1866 in Senatobia, Miss. His father was Augustine Washington Winn
born 1831. Does this sound familiar? I think we are related. I just came across
your site on Hattie Winn. I am surprised to learn relations are so close to us.

History Organized in July and August, 1861, under
Colonel Abraham S. Piatt, it saw its first service the same fall in Western
Virginia, and took part in the various operations in the Kanawha Valley up to
1864. In that summer it joined Hunter in the disastrous raid up the Shenandoah
Valley, and was with Crook's command at the battle of Winchester,
losing their Lt. Colonel; and to its grand satisfaction was again at Winchester
with Sheridan, losing six color bearers on that memorable day. Those escaping
the affair at Beverly - where the Regiment doing post duty was captured in
January, 1865 - were consolidated with the 36th Ohio Infantry.
